โฝ What happens when the fuel burn you were promised isn't the fuel burn you get?
In this episode, Brandon Martini and Carson Vasquez break down part one of Brandon's ferry flight in an ICP Savannah S, a light sport airplane he had never flown, from Georgetown, Texas toward California. Brandon walks through how he planned fuel for an unfamiliar aircraft, why he didn't trust the owner's numbers, and the moment over the Arizona desert when one tank stopped feeding.
